Mayor Greg Gasataya has proposed the use of a “G-App” to revolutionize waste management in the city.
In a move to modernize urban sanitation, Gastaya proposed the use of a digital platform designed to improve and streamline garbage collection operations in the city in an effort to promote a cleaner and greener Bacolod, a press release from the Bacolod City Communications Office said on Monday, July 14.
During a meeting with IPM-Construction Development Corporation Monday, July 14, the city’s waste management contractor, Gasataya emphasized the urgency of adopting technology-based solutions.
One key features of the G-App is the Real-Time GPS Tracking. Seamlessly integrated with IPM-CDC’s existing fleet system, the app will enhance coordination, ensure efficient garbage collection and operations monitoring that will reduce fuel cost and service gaps, the press release said.
He directed IPM-CDC to prioritize urban zones, including high-density dowtown areas and residential subdivisions, ensuring no neighborhood is overlooked, it said.*
